Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
DEC provided review comments for the draft Site Characterization results report for Site TU001. Additional Site Characterization is recommended. However, the samples collected from near the UST 1499-3 location did not identify DRO or associated petroleum contaminants. The report concludes that this former OWS (UST 1499-3) does not appear to be a significant source of contamination. |
